00:00You eat rice almost every day, but do you know what actually happens inside your body?
00:06It all starts in your mouth.
00:08As you chew, your saliva begins breaking rice down into simple sugars.
00:14Next, the food travels to your stomach, where it's mixed and broken down even more into a soft liquid.
00:21Then, in your small intestine, enzymes break the rice down into glucose,
00:26and your body absorbs it into the bloodstream.
00:30Now, the glucose moves through your blood, and insulin helps your cells take it in.
00:35This glucose becomes energy that powers your muscles and fuels your brain to think and function.
00:41And every time you eat rice, this entire process happens again.
